And it's Friday!
1. Out with the new, in with the old. Hollywood is going back to its roots with SFX and loves to brag about it. From Max Max: Fury Road to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, actors are slogging through real deserts (REAL!), FX gurus are creating real foam rubber apatosaurus and directors are calling it "retro." Goodbye, CGI. You've been replaced by your older brother.
2. (I accidentally started to call this one the Golden Ration) Everyone knows what the Golden Ratio is – it's a special number found by dividing a line into two parts so that the longer part divided by the smaller part is also equal to the whole length divided by the longer part. (Yeah, that's all Greek to me too) but according to Keith Devlin, a professor of mathematics at Stanford University, "it's impossible for anything in the real-world to fall into the golden ratio, because it's an irrational number." Blame Adolf Zeising for this mess.
People think they see the golden ratio around them, in the natural world and the objects they love, but they can't actually substantiate it," Devlin tells me. "They are victims to their natural desire to find meaning in the pattern of the universe, without the math skills to tell them that the patterns they think they see are illusory.
3. Written much more eloquently that I (and less snarky), the Messyness Chic writes about Little Syria, NYC – a once vibrant neighborhood in Manhattan.
4. I tried to come up with something witty for this, but people, if your passwords are "letmein," "1qaz2wsx," "1234567," then you're an idiot. It's 2016, get with the picture. Try something a little more creative (like DinoPass & Password Dog).
5. A haunting tale of three men trapped in the U.S.S. West Virginia after Pearl Harbor.
6. Hey, guess what – your elementary school teachers were wrong. Yeah, go figure. Oil doesn't come from Velociraptors, Iguanodons, Brontomerus, but instead came from itty bitty pritty sea organisms. So feel better, America, you're not burning millions of years of dinosaur sludge in your car, you're just burning sea monkeys.
I like to lightheartedly tell my coworkers, "Don't even talk to me until I've had my coffee!" And then I never get coffee.
— Julia Johns (@heyJuliaJohns) March 11, 2015
8. Hate burpees? Faceplant after doing a plank? Three left feet in yoga? Maybe you should try some of these ridiculous workouts: calf lifting (moo), vibrating chairs, treadmill bikes and everyone's favorite, the bladder toss!
9. Yet another reboot is coming, but this time it's Netflix & DreamWorks "reimagining" everyone's favorite* 80s cartoon, Voltron. Let's hope it does the original justice instead of making us cry.
*If you've never seen Voltron, then you lose 1,000 cool points. Just saying.
10. I tried creating my own recipe to post on ProfoundNoms a few weeks ago, and it was a massive fail. I, er, accidentally put a bit too much paprika in it and even with half a tub of sour cream, it wasn't edible. Colby swears I'm trying to kill him.
11. Good news, Pastafarians of Massachusetts – the tyrannical Registry of Motor Vehicles has been defeated by the power of the First Amendment. That's right, grab those spaghetti strainers and stroll down to your local RMV to update your license picture. Remember, He boiled for your sins!
12. "Your name is Tasbeeh. Don't let them call you by anything else."
13. Poor Pluto, first you are demoted to dwarf planet, then Caltech finds another planet far outside your orbit, a planet that's 10x the size of the Earth, and 5,000x your size. Family reunions will never be the same.

Scibor Prepare Another Set of Armoured Dwarves
April 5, 2015 by dracs
Hot on the heels of the recent release of their Dwarf Cannoneers, Scibor have begun work on a new set of dwarves wielding two-handed weapons.
With their tabards worn over their armour, these dwarves seem to be more of an elite unit and look a bit less incredibly bulky, even if they are wearing over-sized shoulder pads.
If I was to take I guess, I would say that those long staves they are holding will be suitably ornate great axes, which should combine with their different stances to make a unit made up of individual elite warriors.
Do you like Scibor's dwarf warriors?

Elderly with complicated grief benefit from targeted program, study says
Complicated grief is an under-recognized problem in the elderly, but a specific treatment can help, a new study says.
Around 9% of bereaved older women have complicated grief, which can cause functional impairment and increased risk of suicide. Researchers at Columbia University School of Social Work looked at 151 individuals over five years. The average age was 66, and the group was divided into a targeted complication grief (CGT) program and interpersonal therapy. The CGT program focused on resolving grief complications, facilitating natural mourning and loss. The interpersonal therapy group focused on mood, assessment of the deceased, talking about the death and enhancing relationships.
While both groups improved, the response rate for those in the CGT was more than twice what it was in the other group. Symptom reduction was greater, and there was a larger decrease in the CGT group, researchers said. This ultimately means that a targeted program for complicated grief with older individuals may be more effective than treatment designed for depression.
Results appeared in JAMA Psychiatry.

Sheriff putting officers on school buses
Reminder for motorists on Hwy. 39 who are approaching a school bus.
Bingham County Sheriff Craig Rowland wrote: "It has come to my attention that we are having a great deal of school bus stop arm violations on Highway 39 since they put the turn lane in. Idaho Code 49-1422 states that all vehicles must come to a stop in both directions on any roadway where there are three or less lanes of travel. In other words all traffic must come to a stop when a school bus has its stop arm out on any road that is three lanes or less."
On roadways that are four or more lanes, the only people who have to stop are the vehicles that are behind the bus.
The Sheriff's office will be out in force to combat people who are not stopping for school buses. Officers will be put on school buses to call in violators. Also in place will be chase cars to stop the violation.
Idaho Code 49-1422 is a misdemeanor and is punishable by a fine up to $500 plus court cost.

Ice Carnival runs this weekend
Friday through Sunday marks the 41st Gladwin County Ice Carnival in Albright Shores. Crews have been working to make the half-mile oval racetrack solid and smooth for the weekend's races.
By Cheryl Wade
Daily News/DANIELLE RAPPAPORT
John Karklin, left, Jim Knieper and Chris Liesen check to see how the ice is freezing as they prepare the track at Albright Shores for this weekend's ice carnival. With the warmer temperatures, getting enough layers of ice onto the track to run all this weekend's events has been a challenge for Gladwin County Ice Carnival members who put the event together.
Riding finely tuned snowmobiles and motorcycles, they'll head onto an icy track to muster all the speed and balance man and machine can put out.
Friday through Sunday marks the 41st Gladwin County Ice Carnival in Albright Shores. Crews have been working to make the half-mile oval racetrack solid and smooth for the weekend's races.
"It's a dirt track, flooded with truckloads of water making lap after lap," said Chris Liesen, who's organizing the motorcycle events. Spreaders on the trucks distribute water as they make the circuit. Up-to-date ice conditions were not available at press time but if all goes as planned, Liesen expects 175 to 200 riders from around Michigan and perhaps other states.
The competition is sanctioned by the American Motorcycle Association for a district that includes all of Michigan except the Upper Peninsula. For amateur racers, this is the first level of competition, Liesen said. Speeds might approach 100 mph.
New this year are races for "slightly or highly modified" front-wheel-drive compact cars, said ice carnival organizer Jim Knieper. Instead of the high-action Woody's Pro Enduro 300 snowmobile race, organizers have scheduled a race for vintage snowmobiles.
"We didn't make any money the last few years" on the enduro, Knieper said. "They're just not attracting the spectators that they used to."
The ice carnival is sponsored by a non-profit organization that puts proceeds back into the event.
If the weather is good and the track is not soupy or rutted, Knieper expects 2,000 people at the carnival each day.
"Mother Nature's not been very cooperative this past week," he said.

Italy travelled to Armenia on Friday evening, and secured all three points with a 3-1 win thanks to goals from Andrea Pirlo, Daniele De Rossi and Osvaldo. They host Denmark in Milan on Tuesday night, and the Azzurri have a strong record against the Danes.
There was no room for Antonio Cassano in Cesare Prandelli's squad, despite the Inter ace enjoying the best start to a season in his career. The former Fiorentina coach drafted in several familiar faces on the back of recent impressive performances, with Andrea Ranocchia and Alberto Gilardino returning to the international fold.
In addition, Prandelli has included a core of youngsters who will all look to make an impact should they feature. Milan star Stephan El Shaarawy was brought back into the squad after bagging four goals in five games for the Rossoneri and made a substitute appearance in Armenia, while Marco Verratti has been rewarded for his fine form at PSG. Sure to please the tabloids, Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli is also recalled, but was ruled out of Friday's clash with fever.
After being controversially dropped from the Euro 2012 squad having been implicated in the match fixing scandal, Domenico Criscito returned to the national team after his name was cleared of any wrongdoing. Prandelli described the decision to leave him out of his squad in the summer 'a very painful one on a technical and human level' but is delighted to have him back at his disposal. The Zenit stopper made his comeback against Armenia, and is expected to keep his place on Tuesday.
The Azzurri were comfortable winners in their last home game against Malta thanks to goals from Mattia Destro and Federico Peluso. They will be targeting another win after moving clear at the top of their group, but will know a tough test awaits them at San Siro on Tuesday night.
Denmark impressed many in Poland and Ukraine this past summer, after defeating Holland in their first group game they came close to providing a real scare to eventual group qualifiers Germany and Portugal. Having been held to a disappointing goalless draw in their opening Group B game against Czech Republic, they will be looking to cause an upset in Italy and secure their first win in qualifying.
However, the Danes have just one win in their last six meetings with Italy, with the Italians running out winners on four occasions. These two last met at Euro 2004, with the game ending in a goalless draw.
Andrea Pirlo is likely to be key as the creative hub in the midfield, despite showing signs of tiredness and speculation linking him with retirement from international football, the Juventus playmaker is as important as ever and got the ball rolling in Armenia with his penalty. Reports claim Christian Maggio will return to Naples for the birth of his first child, with Ignazio Abate on stand-by should he not return. Gianluigi Buffon is struggling with injury, and is likely to be rested.
The Azzurri are at 1.50 to secure all three points in Milan. Denmark are still winless after two games, and a close 2-1 victory in favour of the home side is at 8.50. With three goals in three international games, Roma ace Osvaldo is at 5.00 to start the goalscoring.

text: Portici to Trapani trains might be a good value for money solution: travelling in Italy by train is often rather cheap and faster than taking a bus indeed Trains leave from Portici-Ercolano and arrive at Trapani every about 4 hours on average. If travelling with Trenitalia, you need to know the Portici to Trapani train schedule: the first train leaves at 12:35, while the last ride is at 22:50. A Portici to Trapani train cost about 72.9 €. But how long is the train ride from Portici to Trapani? Your journey takes about 20 hours on average.

Q: Why are some digital photos from certain races "free" and other races there is a charge?
A: Races offering a free digital photo are compensating me, either via a sponsor or the race organization, itself, for the service.
Q: I see the runners who finished before and after me, but I don't see myself. Where is my photo?
A: I am a one-man operation and while every attempt is made to capture every runner, due to the size of most races, this Is not always possible.
Q: I see that I can buy a digital download for $40, yet other races I have ran in sell them for less. Why is the price higher?
A: Other race companies are charging too little for this product. Once you have downloaded the file, theoretically you can make prints and share the photo as often as you like, without me seeing another dollar from your investment. I also don't make $40 profit on this - or other products . Zenfolio Is a hosting site that allows me to sell my work. They take a percentage of all sales.** As of April 2014 all digital downloads will be $30 per image**
Q: I just ordered one 4x6 print, so why is shipping $8?
A: Zenfolio sets all shipping rates, and I do not make any money from shipping costs. During the checkout process, Zenfolio has a shipping method highlighted as "recommended" for $8. Unless you need your photo prints urgently, the $4 shipping option is what I recommend.
Q: I ran with my daughter in XYZ race. On the site, I only see part of her. Is there more to this image the web site is not showing?
A: The photos you see are the full image of what was shot.
Q: I just ordered my photo and forgot to apply the coupon code. How can I receive the discount you offered?
A: You MUST apply the coupon code during checkout. Once the order is placed I cannot offer a refund since a third party controls the ordering and fulfillment processes. The only other option is within 5 minutes of placing the order, to cancel your order. This requires retrieving your order number, which is emailed to you following a purchase, and sending it to email@example.com and requesting them to cancel your order. This must take place within a few minutes of placing the order.
Q: When I ordered a digital download, I hit the "I agree" icon on the agreement page, but I didn't read the document. What does it say?
A: Any digital downloads, as well as prints, are to be used for personal use only. This includes using it as a screen saver, sending to friends and family. I do allow customers to use images on social media sites, such as Facebook or Twitter. Using the image to promote your business, or share with newspapers, magazines or others publications is prohibited without my consent and possible further compensation for that type of use.
Q: Why does my 8x10 enlargement look different than it does on my computer screen?
A: When ordering an 8x10, the image is automatically cropped. Please be aware of this when you approve the image during the final stage of review. You are able to crop as you see fit and you can review your work before adding it to your shopping cart.
Q: When ordering a "Running" magazine cover, is the name of my race also on the cover?
A: No, the name does not appear on the cover. However, you can add a short amount of text yourself, whether it is the name of the race, the time you finished, or other details.

Another very important rule is the RESTRICTION AGAINST SAILING WITHIN 300 FEET (ONE FOOTBALL FIELD) OF A ANY DIVER DOWN FLAG. Failure to adhere to this rule is subject to protest by any other boat or the Race Committee and possible "DSQ".
Fleets and Classes: Members may choose in which class to compete.
- The Assigned Rating Class (ARC) is designed for boats and crew wishing to fly a spinnaker.
- The Jib and Main Only Class (JAM) is the cruiser class for both Bouy Races and for the Coastal Series Races.
The Race Committee reserves the right to add or combine classes.
Ratings: Ratings will initially be based on PHRF ratings with consideration to each boat's equipment, sail plan and intended use. The Race Committee will establish each boat's rating prior to its first race. For the Bouy Races all ARC and JAM Fleet boat's ratings will be adjusted by the clubs result based scoring program. All Coastal Series Races will be scored using each boats club assigned rating, not the adjusted ratings generated during the Spring and Fall Bouy Races.
Scoring: The Low Point Scoring system will apply, 1 for first, 2 for second, 3 for third, and so on. The Spring Series is planned for 10 races and scoring will be on the best 7 races sailed. The Fall Series is planned for 10 races and scoring will be on the best 7 races sailed. Throw outs may be used in the event of a canceled race that cannot be rescheduled. Coastal Series races are scored separately, and 3 Coastal Races must be sailed to be eligible for prizes. If you choose to switch fleets during a series you will not be scored in the new fleet until the next series begins.
Checking In: When the Race Committee is ready, an announcement will be made for all participating boats to check in. All boats will check in with the Race Committee on Channel 68 prior to the first Warning Signal.
Starting Times: The first start for bouy races will be at 11:00 am. It is the intention of the Race Committee to start the Coastal Races at 10:00, though this is subject to amendment by the sailing instructions of each particular race.
Click to read Sailing Instructions
Prizes: Class prizes for each race(prizes for the first 3 places in each class) will be presented at the after race party whenever possible. A prize will be given to the first placed boat in ARC in each coastal race that does not race in the ARC fleet in Buoy races and does not finish in the first 3 boats in that particular race.
Class prizes for each Series and Perpetual Trophies will be awarded at the General Club meeting to current members following completion of each Series and/or race.
Special Class Prizes and Perpetual Trophies will be awarded for:
- The Nederlanden Race
- The Ladies Day Race
- The Commodore's Cup
- Mary Wells Challenge Cup
Perpetual Trophies will also be awarded for:
- Coastal Series (The best HISC Boat)
- Columbus Day Regatta
- The best HISC Boat in ARC
- The best HISC Boat in the PHRF Class
- Fort Lauderdale to Key West Race (The best HISC Boat)

This is the quest where I have to find the provisioner and shipwright, which I did do. I came back to Reval and was given a notification saying I completed the quest. I talked to the provisioner and he gave me 500 coins, but I haven't been given my reward of 150 fame. All of my objectives were checked off and such, but no reward. I'm just left with 100 fame from the last quest.
Speaking of this 'Shipwreck' quest, it was a bit difficult to find. I ended up finding a post in the forum which helped, but I doubt I would've ever found it myself. I think the distance is right, but I wasn't expecting it to be so far out.
Still love the game! I started only yesterday. I found your Twitch account; do you have a schedule?
Unable to complete the 'Shipwreck' quest.
General discussion of the game.

Re: Unable to complete the 'Shipwreck' quest.

I have once deleted some important messages on my phone by accident but finally successfully get them back with the help of FORecovery. According to my experience, if you deleted your messages in error, try restoring the backup files in iCloud and iTunes. If you haven't backup before, you can try the iPhone Data Recovery tool, which is quite helpful. The program can help you analyze the existing data inside your phone and recover them with no effect on the current data of your phone.

"Twinning" refers to the practice of two lolitas wearing the same dress (albeit in different colours), with differences in styling. Recently, I did a shoot for Alana and Kate for the dress ALICE and the PIRATES from BTSSB. Since there was a pirate element to the shoot, we used La Perouse.
Unfortunately, while there was a certain look we wanted for the shoot, the weather was too sunny to be able to match the look. It is possible to use light and technique to overcome certain rules of nature, the difference between a sunny day and a cloudy day (which we wanted) is a bit too much for me to overcome at my current skill level.
Overall, though, it was a very pirately shoot: there were monoculars, treasure, guns, etc.
In terms of treasure hunting, I also found a lens wedged between two cliff faces (someone must have dropped it when changing lenses near the edge of a cliff – a good example of why you don't do that if you have butter fingers), but unfortunately, it had been nicely washed by sea water and polished by sand for who knows how many days, so repair was found to be implausible.
One of the key rules that you learn when starting out is "Do not shoot in direct sunlight". But what if it is unavoidable (or in this case, something we actually want to do)?
The biggest problem with direct sunlight, IMO, are the harsh shadows (the second biggest is squinty eyes). There is no way around it: to fill those shadows on the face, a very powerful light source is needed. For the technologically-inclined, that would be a powerful flash (typically a pack and head or similar).
Of course, a reflector (using the silvered side or the white side) is typically the cheapest way to achieve an intensity of light nearly equivalent to the sun (it's just redirecting the sun), and is very efficient in filling out those shadows, but reflectors have a few disadvantages in this situation:
How do you catch the light from the sun (usually positioned above) and direct it laterally in a flattering manner?
Can you feather the effect so as to reduce the intensity (and thus flatness) of the lighting?
Can the reflector be held steady? (A big consideration when you want consistent results – and a difficult one if you are shooting in a place with wind).
Related to the above: Can a smaller reflector do the job of a bigger one? A smaller reflector is naturally easier to handle, and more stable in the wind.

The engine will probably be matched to the same 7-speed GTronic transmission that also does duty on the Mercedes S500. It needs to be the ideal car for those who desire a petrol S-class, but locate the V8 a bit excessive. Mercedes-Benz S400 It gets the same quantity of extravagance which you've seen on the other trimmings and including things like air suspension, unmatched quality in cabin, great not to mention oodles of relaxation.

I love this paragraph Inkling's latest blog post. Resonates with me on a personal level, considering the way I grew up, the projects I'm drawn to, and my fascination with relationships and Co/Lab, the collaboration project.
Read the full thing here: http://www.inkling.com/blog/
It also reminds me of a quote from Tony Hsieh's Delivering Happiness:
Informal learning, by contrast, happens in the mental space between lectures. It's what you learn outside a formal setting by observing the world and trying things out. (You didn't learn the consequences of sticking a fork in the toaster from a book; you simply tried it.) It's what you learn when you follow the trail of questions raised by every answer—once you read this, it makes you want to learn more about that, which in turn sparks your curiosity about something else. The next thing you know, hours have gone by and you're the world's newest expert on something you, perhaps, hadn't expected. Odds are, just like in the first example you thought of above, you may have even called on your friends, colleagues, and the Internet to help in this process. Type I learning means developing networks (with people) and connections (between disparate concepts) that help you better understand ideas, both new and old.

It also reminds me of a quote from Tony Hsieh's Delivering Happiness:
"...happiness doesn't come primarily from within but, rather, from between."
-Jonathan Haidt in The Happiness Hypothesis
Anyway. Just food for thought.

Great bit with embellished silver cheek and jointed sidepieces. Unique ball hinge at cheek prevents pinching. Various mouthpiece options make this a great bit for horses of all levels.
The four moving parts allow the horse to respond to subtle rein pressure which greatly reduces heavy rein handling. Copper bars keep the horse's mouth moist. This bit can be used in any western discipline.

great places to visit off the beaten path.
Dennis Severs' House, 18 Folgate Street, Spitalfields, is a Grade II listed Georgian terrace house. From 1979 to 1999 it was lived in by Dennis Severs, who gradually recreated the 10 rooms as a time capsulte in the style of former centuries. It is now open to the public. The rooms are arranged as if they are in use and the occupants from the 18th Century as if they have only just left. There are displays of items such as half-eaten bread, and different smells and background sounds for each room. Severs called this "still life drama". Woven through the house is the story of the fictive Jervis family – silk weavers who lived at the house from 1725 to 1919. Each room evokes incidental moments in the lives of these imaginary inhabitants. Severs bequeathed the house to the Spitalfields Trust shortly before his death. It is now open to the public, who are asked during their visit to respect the intent of the creator and participate in an imaginary journey to another time. The motto of the house is Aut Visum Aut Non!: 'You either see it or you don't'.

An innovative design by AECOM and Pininfarina was chosen as the winner for the regional Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower and technical building at the Istanbul Airport. The project is set to become a landmark for Istanbul and part of what is to be the world's largest new airport in terms of annual passenger capacity.
Yusuf Akçayoglu, chief executive officer of ?GA who chose the winning design said, "We were looking for a striking design fit for a 21st-century airport while remaining sensitive to Istanbul's unique heritage." The tower shape is inspired by the tulip, which has been the symbol of Istanbul for many centuries and is an important cultural reference in Turkish history.
It is AECOM's first collaboration with Pininfarina, the design house renowned for its car designs for Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and BMW. The collaboration combines the expertise of AECOM's architectural and engineering teams with Pininfarina's distinctive architectural style that epitomises speed and movement.
Paolo Pininfarina, chairman of Pininfarina, said: "Our aim, as with all our projects, was to develop a bespoke idea that embodied our partner's design identity while at the same time bringing a new aesthetic perspective. By leveraging the unique combination of our 85 years' experience in design – from cars to superyachts, and from luxury products to furniture – with our architectural knowledge gained from several projects around the world, we have been able to create a technologically advanced structure of distinctive character."
Jennifer Dixon, head of architecture, Europe, Middle East, India and Africa, AECOM, said: "In this competition, our aim was to combine the dynamism and romance of Pininfarina's architectural style that is so influenced by automotive design with AECOM's in?house aviation architecture capabilities. The AECOM and Pininfarina team has created a beautiful and highly functional piece that rekindles the excitement and glamour of modern air travel at the crossroads of Europe and Asia."
Bernardo Gogna, senior vice president and director of global aviation, AECOM, said: "Our goal was to bring Pininfarina's values, which are grounded in tradition and craftsmanship, to the world of aviation. The result marries pure iconic beauty with true innovation."
The design competition is the latest win for AECOM at Istanbul New Airport. Earlier this year it was appointed by ?GA to deliver designs for all the airside works at the airport. The new airport will have an initial capacity of 90 million passengers per year. It will be located on the European side of the city, 35 kilometres from the centre on a site adjacent to the Black Sea.
Subsequent planned phases will expand the airport to include six runways and three terminal buildings and when all phases are complete, the airport will have an annual capacity of up to 200 million passengers.
In October, ?GA secured a €4.5 billion loan from a group of six banks for the first phase of the project. The AECOM and Pininfarina collaboration was chosen from a total of six entries from international architectural teams, including ZahaHadid, Fuksas, Moshe Safdie, Grimshaw-Nordic and RMJM.

The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals reported on Tuesday its first cases of West Nile virus of the year.
All three of the cases were reported in Livingston Parish and were asymptomatic, meaning those infected were unaware until they gave blood or were tested.
"These three infections serve as reminders that West Nile virus is here and all residents are at risk," Louisiana State Epidemiologist Raoult Ratard said. "Everyone should take simple steps to protect themselves, their families and their homes from mosquitoes, which spread West Nile virus to humans when they bite. Protection is as simple as wearing mosquito repellant and covering your skin. You can also prevent mosquitoes from reproducing by dumping standing water from containers around your home."
Louisiana recorded 34 cases of West Nile virus in 2013. The year with the highest amount of West Nile cases in Louisiana was 2002, when 204 people were diagnosed with the disease.
Approximately 90 percent of West Nile cases are asymptomatic, with approximately 10 percent developing West Nile fever. Only a very small number of those infected with West Nile virus exhibit serious symptoms of the neuroinvasive disease.
People 65 and older are at a higher risk of complications from West Nile virus.

I've been quiet adventurous with my denim picks recently. As much as I love a good pair of high waisted black skinnies - as soon as I saw these Boyfriend jeans on Pretty Little Thing I just had to try them on. I thought these were just for skinny girls, but boy oh boy was I wrong! I actually love the colour and fit - they're super comfortable and give you a great shape. I would happily wear these on a night out but swapping the chunky knit for a bodysuit. They're so versatile that they would go with any kind of style - I could totally see myself styling these with a cute cowboy belt and black blouse in the summer.
I've been obsessing over the cold shoulder trend for ages and when I came across this chunky knit on Boohoo it had to be mine. It's perfect for this transitional weather when you don't want to wear a coat but you also don't want to go outside with just a little tee on. It comes in a silvery grey also which would be amazing with white jeans, I was very tempted to do the hair tuck but I think I have too much hair for that.
My badass heels are from my babes at Public Desire and my glasses are from Ultimate Collections.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Wakefield District Curriculum
Wakefield Public Schools use the Common Core Standards and Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. Wakefield provides a curriculum overview for each grade level from K-4 that gives a brief description of the general curriculum as well as a snapshot of the concepts and skills taught and learned in each content area throughout the school year. These learning objectives guide teachers' lesson and unit planning and can be used by instructors across disciplines to integrate subject learning.
The district uses a Standards Based Reporting System (SBRS) to help parents understand how their children are performing relative to the standards. The SBRS is communicated in the form of a rubric with numerical scores ranging from one to four (including 2+) representing student achievement. For example, students who are exceeding the standards are at a four, while those who are at a beginning level of understanding grade-level concepts receive a score of one.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Keeping Informed: Recent Wakefield Educational News
- Graduation Reminds About the Importance of Home - A common theme throughout the graduation ceremony of Wakefield High's Class of 2014 was, even if the graduates go out and explore the world, they should always remember their roots in Wakefield. The importance of "home" was represented in the Class of 2014's banners—an annual tradition for Wakefield's graduating classes—which depicts the skyline of Boston to symbolize the future but also the gazebo on the Town Common and the warrior in the high school's courtyard to represent their home.
- Juniors Take Part in Job Shadow Day - Recently, the juniors at Wakefield High School participated in the school's eighth annual Job Shadow Day. The day began with a speaker encouraging the students to select a career that fits them and that makes them happy and emphasizing that, even if they have their minds set on a specific career, those plans can change. The students had the opportunity to work alongside individuals from local businesses and showed gratitude towards the community for its participation.
- Wakefield Students Perform "Les Miserables" - Music Theater International selected just a smattering of high school theater programs in the country to put on a professional production of Les Miserables, and Wakefield High School Theater Arts was one of them! Prior to the April 2014 performances, the Wakefield community spent several months designing costumes and fundraising for the production. In addition to Les Mis, the talented theater group also produced the annual county spelling bee and "The Glass Managerie" in 2014.
Chalk Talk: Educational Jargon: Memory (STM vs. LTM)
Memory plays a large role in students retaining the content that they learned, as it refers to the way in which previously stored information is recalled. Students who are partially engaged usually have the learning stored in their short-term memory (STM), meaning that they will only be able to recall it for a short period of time. In long-term memory (LTM), the information is in place for months or years. Unfortunately, student learning is contained in STM more frequently than in LTM. This is often because students do not see connections between what is learned from unit to unit, discipline to discipline, and across grade levels. They also do not recognize the purpose of the material and how it relates to the real world. Even if students remember information throughout the school year, they will likely lose it over the summer months, which explains why much of the first month of a school year is dedicated to reviewing. With LTM storage being the goal, it is important that an engaging, interconnected, relevant curriculum is in place, which the Common Core Standards are making an effort towards.

The year was 2005. We had just lost a whole season to labour insanity, but the Canucks were still reigning Northwest Division Champs, with consecutive 100+ point seasons in their back pocket. I was so psyched for the new season, thinking "This could very well be the year the Canucks finally bring the Cup to Vancouver!" I even set out to burn the highlights of every game onto DVDs so that if they did indeed win the Cup, I would have a whole-season chronicle of the journey.
As we all know, it wasn't to be. They stumbled badly down the stretch and ended up missing the final playoff spot by 3 points. Sure, it was disappointing, but my optimism wasn't crushed. During the preseason of the 2006-07 season, when hockey debates were dominated by the question of whether the Canucks would make the playoffs, I was thinking "People, give your heads a shake! Roberto Luongo is now in the fold, so making the playoffs is a foregone conclusion!" And I boldly predicted to anyone who would listen that the Canucks were going to win the Northwest Division. . .and would even be contenders for the Stanley Cup. So, I again set out to collect every game's highlights on DVD, just in case that did actually happen.
Well, the Canucks did regain the Northwest Division title as predicted, and Luongo did provide them with at least a fighting chance in the playoffs, sporting an impressive .941 save percentage. But the season ended a couple of rounds earlier than I had hoped. . .with Luongo's infamous gaffe in double-overtime of game 6 against the Ducks. So, another set of DVDs that didn't conclude with a Stanley Cup.
Actually, even if the Canucks had won the Cup in either of those two years, I would not have had a complete chronicle of the magical season, for I had managed to miss a game or two of highlights in each season. And being the superstitious guy I am, I began to wonder, "If I could finally succeed in collecting a complete set of game highlights for an entire season, maybe then the Canucks would finally win the Cup."
In the seasons that followed, I tried to put together that complete set, but I got thwarted year after year. Sometimes, it was simply due to my own lack of diligence–like, simply forgetting to program the PVR to pick up a highlight package, or remembering to program the PVR but entering the wrong start/stop times.
Even when I was totally diligent, things seemed to conspire against me–like the time I programmed the correct start/stop times, but the TV network made a last-minute change in their programming to insert something else into that time slot. One season, I even missed a highlight package as the result of a federal election, with the extended coverage running into the time slot I had programmed for the sports news! So, when the Canucks failed to win the Cup each of those years, I was disappointed. . .but not entirely surprised.
But this year is different. This season, for the first time, the Canucks enter the playoffs with my collection of highlights totally complete. The regular-season stage of chronicle is totally unblemished! And I am going to be especially diligent in my PVR programming of the highlight packages of each playoff game. I have two trips planned during the next month, and I plan to record the highlight package for each game while away in two (perhaps even three) different time slots, to guard against being thwarted by changes in programming. . .or even extended election coverage. And I am fully expecting that the last shot of the last disc of game highlights will feature Henrik hoisting the Stanley Cup!
